Improves students’ skills as readers and writers of fiction. Stories by established writers (and works produced by the students) will be discussed.

Emphasis will be placed on writing practice and the development of a critical/literary vocabulary. Prerequisite(s): C or better in ENGL 131. (PCS 1.1, 3 credit hours - 3 hours lecture, 0 hours lab)
